Dear BC Minister of Education, Jennifer Whiteside, 

- Did you know that talking on your cell phone 2-1/2 hours a month (not more than 30 minutes a week) is considered "a heavy user"? 

- Did you know a Canadian study found 558 hours of cell phone use can more than a doubled the risk of brain cancer? 

- Did you know the Chicago Tribune recently did an independent investigation into the cell phone scandal (Phonegate) and confirmed the findings that iPhone 7 and other smart phones exceeded the Safety Code 6 guidelines for radiation exposure? 

- Did you know Apple and Samsung are knowingly selling products that exceed allowable radiation limits and have failed to warn its consumers regarding radiation risks and the need to keep the phone at a safe distance away from the body? 

- Did you know the Chicago investigation also confirmed what the French National Agency has warned about for some time that 90% of all the major cellphones tested (more than 450) emitted significantly higher levels of radiation exceeding the safety compliance standards, up to 5 times the current guidelines when phones are tested as they are used in real life?

 - Did you know a recent study by Professor Om Gandhi examined data from 450 cell phones and also confirmed that the phone can exceed the guidelines and emitted up to 11 times over the US FCC limit when used under realistic conditions?

 - Did you know the Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED), has failed to do its due diligence by allowing cell phones to be brought onto the market without any independent, practical/realistic-use safety testing?

 - Did you know the manufacturers of cell phones are allowed to self report and only have to submit a sample of a one new phone, sent directly from the factory, to comply with exposure standards that has been set by the industry? 

- Did you know Rob Fleming, previous Minister of Education, had refused to follow Ontario’s lead and ban cellphones and personal devices in our schools, when his child is attending the only school in Victoria with a cell phone ban? 

- Did you know Rob Fleming has denied parents the opportunity to make an informed decision for their children, on the cell phone ban in BC? 

Our question is: Will you allow parents to make an informed decision on the use of wireless technology in our schools? 

Respectfully, 

Janis Hoffmann

Dear BC Minister of Education, Jennifer Whiteside, 

- Did you know that the Medical Definition of Microwave Sickness is: a condition of impaired health first reported in the Russian medical literature that is characterized by headaches, anxiety, sleep disturbances, fatigue, and difficulty in concentrating and by changes in the cardiovascular and central nervous systems and that is held to be caused by prolonged exposure to low-intensity microwave radiation? 

 - Did you know that thousands of peer-reviewed studies show adverse health effects from wireless radiation exposure including cancer, neurological harm, abnormal brain development and reproductive health problems? 

- Did you know that a $30 million dollar, 10-year study by the US National Toxicology Program on 2G and 3G technologies found “Clear Evidence” of cancer in the heart and brain from the prolonged exposure to wireless radiation from cell phones? 

- Did you know there have been NO long-term studies done on 4G and 5G technologies? 

- Did you know another long term study by the Ramazzini Institute also found that exposure to wireless radiation from distant cell towers was associated with a increased risk of malignant heart tumors confirming the results of the NTP study? 

 - Did you know that a researcher Zorach Glaser, Ph.D. spent decades archiving over 4,000 studies beginning from 1961 that examine the association of certain health issues and exposure to microwave and radio frequencies? 

 - Did you know that over 240 scientists who have published peer-reviewed research on the biologic and health effects of nonionizing electromagnetic fields, or EMF, signed the International EMF Scientist Appeal, which calls for stronger RF exposure limits? 

 - Did you know that the BC Government, Health Officials and School Officials have willfully dismissed all credible health information presented to them from qualified experts, nationally and internationally, which emphasizes children's heightened vulnerabilities and the need for "precautionary" measures to reduce exposure and risk from the harmful effects? 

 - Did you know that Canada agreed the Precautionary Principle would be implemented when an activity raises threats of harm to human health or the environment, even if some cause and effect relationships are not fully established scientifically?

 Our question is: Can you send us ONE peer reviewed study by a scientist or medical expert stating, “exposure to microwave radiation is safe for children and the unborn.” 

 Respectfully, 

Janis Hoffmann

Colon Cancer Rates In Younger Adults Are Rising

Archive of 4,000 Documents Reveals Government Knew Decades Ago About Health Impact of Wireless Technology

A few years ago, when Glaser realized the importance of his archives, he donated them to Dr. Magda Havas, Ph.D. of Trent University in Canada. Havas, an associate professor of environmental and resource studies, has worked for more than a decade to expose the harms of wireless technology.  Researcher Zorach Glaser, Ph.D. spent decades archiving studies that examine the link between certain health issues and exposure to microwave and radio frequencies. Scholars and the public are now invited to help review Glaser’s documents.

Colon Cancer Rates In Younger Adults Are Rising

Get those cell phones out of your pockets

Those born around 1990 are twice as likely to get colon cancer and four times as likely to get rectal cancer than those born in 1950, according to the American Cancer Society (ACS). New cases of colon cancer and rectal cancer are occurring at an increasing rate among young and middle-aged adults throughout the U.S.  In 2020, there will be about 18,000 cases of colorectal cancer diagnosed in people under 50, or about 49 new cases per day, according to the Colon Cancer Coalition. It's reported that one in five colorectal cancer patients are between 20 and 54 years old.

Radiation From Wireless Devices May Cause Breast Cancer, New Study Shows

A meta-analysis of eight studies reveals that exposure to radiation from cell phones, iPads and laptops significantly increase the risk of breast cancer, especially for women over 50.

MICROWAVES AND CHILDREN

'Children absorb more MWR than adults because their brain tissues are more absorbent, their skulls are thinner and their relative size is smaller. MWR from wireless devices has been declared a possible human carcinogen. Children are at greater risk than adults when exposed to any carcinogen. Because the average latency time between first exposure and diagnosis of a tumor can be decades, tumors induced in children may not be diagnosed until well into adulthood. The fetus is particularly vulnerable to MWR. MWR exposure can result in degeneration of the protective myelin sheath that surrounds brain neurons. MWR-emitting toys are being sold for use by young infants and toddlers. Digital dementia has been reported in school age children. A case study has shown when cellphones are placed in teenage girls’ bras multiple primary breast cancer develop beneath where the phones are placed.'

PRISONS WITHOUT BARS

Did wireless radiation kill our son and our dog?

Leia had a tumor the size of a baseball in her head, which is visible in these photos taken just before she passed. She spent most of her time with Justis in his room while he played video games and streamed his favorite shows. Justis was only 4 when we got Leia and they were such close friends.

Stories of Hope ~ a teen's foggy brain, rash, itch, fatigue, nausea

"I threw up most days. I felt like the life was being sucked out of me. It was like my body was exploding."  Starting in grade 8, Solveig's life became a nightmare.  "I was the most itchy you've ever been times 100. I would have to dig my nails into my skin to distract myself in class. By noon I had to call my mom in tears to pick me up from school."

Dear BC Minister of Education, Jennifer Whiteside,

 

-        Did you know all wireless devices emit microwave radiation?

 

-        Did you know that it is now mandatory that every child attending school will be exposed all day to microwave radiation from wifi and all the other wireless devices?

 

-        Did you know our School Health Officer, Dr. Stanwick, has endorsed the installation of microwave radiation a known 2b carcinogen listed next to lead, DDT, methyl mercury, chloroform, and car exhaust as an acceptable risk in our schools?

 

-        Did you know School Districts have refused to educate students, parents and staff on how to avoid excessive RFR exposure when handling wireless devices during class time as outlined in the user manuals? 

 

-        Did you know the federally mandated safety manual that comes with all cell phones says to keep these devices up to an inch away from the body at all times?

 

-        Did you know children attending school are pressing these cell phones against their heads, holding them against their reproductive organs and other vital organs, and storing them in their pockets when we know these devices are emitting up to 11 times over the current guidelines?

 

-        Did you know recent studies have proven that 90% of cell phones on the market today exceed the Safety Code 6 guidelines for radiation exposure (SAR at 1.6 W/kg at 5mm) when the phones are tested as they are used in real life?

 

-        Did you know the federally mandated safety manual that comes with all chromebooks and laptops says to keep them at least 8 inches away from the body?

 

-        Did you know that for as little as a one time cost of $500 US dollars, every classroom could be provided with 40 Ethernet ports plus adapters for their wireless devices, costing about $20 per child, a small price to pay compared to brain surgery, chemotherapy, radiation treatments etc.? 

 

Our question is:  Will you protect our children from the health risks from the long-term exposure to microwave radiation in our schools? 

 

Respectfully,

Apple AirPods are the worst Christmas Present you can give someone, especially children!

 Have you read the safety manual for the Apple AirPod? 

To reduce exposure to RF energy, use the supplied headphones or other similar accessories. Carry iPod at least 5mm away from your body to ensure exposure levels remain at or below the as-tested levels.

https://www.apple.com/legal/rfexposure/ipod5,1/en/


Question:  How are you going to insert these AirPods in your ear if they have to be held 5mm away from your body?

Dear Ron McKinnon,

We have received no response from 11 staff members of the ISED, Navdeep Bains, Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry, Deputy Minister, Simon Kennedy, Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada, Paul Thompson, Associate Deputy Minister, Ana Maia, Corporate Secretary, Dawn Lumley-Myllari, Audit and Evaluation Branch Director General, Legal Services, Alain Vauclair, Senior General Counsel and Executive Director, Mitch Davies, Industry Sector Senior Assistant Deputy Minister, Industry Sector, Mary Gregory, Associate Assistant Deputy Minister, Charles Vincent, Industry Sector Associate Assistant Deputy Minister, Andrea Johnston,  Innovation Canada Assistant Deputy Minister and Luc Delorme, Senior Director in the Spectrum Management Operations Branch, who were all individually addressed.

Parents, teachers and students want to know why the ISED has failed to do its due diligence by allowing thousands of innocent children to press these cell phones against their heads, hold them against their reproductive organs and other vital organs, and store them in their pockets when we know these cell phones are in violation of the Safety Code 6 guidelines?

Is it not the duty of the ISED to protect the public by enforcing theses guidelines and take immediate action to recall these cell phones? If not, who is responsible? 

Just in: A test by Penumbra Brands to measure how much wireless radiation an iPhone 11 Pro gives off found that the phone emits more than twice the amount allowable by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).

... the Tribune and Penumbra both used off-the-shelf phones, the FCC largely tested phones supplied by the manufacturers, including Apple.

Dear Navdeep Bains, Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry,

Brian Ahier, Director Radiation Protection Bureau, in response to our letter said, “There are no standards applicable to cell phones or other wireless communication devices under the Radiation Emitting Devices Regulations. In Canada, the regulation of cell phones and other wireless communication devices is the responsibility of Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED), under the Radiocommunication Act. To ensure that public exposures fall within acceptable guidelines, ISED has developed regulatory standards that require compliance with the human exposure limits outlined in Safety Code 6.  ISED conducts regular audits to help ensure that devices on the market and antenna installations are compliant.

 

We want to know why the ISED has failed to do its due diligence by allowing cell phones to be brought onto the market without any independent, practical/realistic-use safety testing? 

 

We want to know why the manufacturers of cell phones are allowed to self report and only have to submit a sample of a one new phone, sent directly from the factory, to comply with exposure standards that has been set by the industry?

 

We want to know why the federally mandated warnings and safety disclaimers are not made available to the public on the outside of the packaging at the point of sale and on the Health Canada website?

 

We want to know why the ISED is not educating thousands of innocent children on the safe use of cell phones and allowing them to press these cell phones against their heads, holding them against their reproductive organs and other vital organs, and storing them in their pockets when we know these devices are emitting 4 - 11 times over the current Safety Code 6 guidelines?  


The Chicago Tribune recently did an independent investigation into the cell phone scandal (Phonegate) and confirmed the findings that iphone 7 and other smart phones exceeded the Safety Code 6 guidelines for radiation exposure (SAR at 1.6 W/kg at 5mm).  Apple and Samsung are knowingly selling products that exceed allowable radiation limits and have failed to warn its consumers regarding radiation risks and the need to keep the phone at a safe distance away from the body.

“The Chicago investigation confirms what the French National Agency has warned about for some time now that 90% of all the major cellphones tested (more than 450) emitted significantly higher levels of radiation exceeding the safety compliance standards, up to 5 times the current guidelines when phones are tested as they are used in real life. The current guidelines for the manufacturers is based on the 1990’s when people wore their standard flip phone on their hip in a holster about 1 “ away from your body.

In a recent study by Professor Om Gandhi, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, The University of Utah, Salt Lake City, he examined data from 450 cell phones and also confirmed that the phone can exceed the guidelines and emitted up to 11 times over the US FCC limit when used under realistic conditions.

France has asked the European Commission to strengthen the regulations and guidelines for new mobile phones placed on the market. As recommended by ANSES, the Government has requested that the certification tests be carried out in regards to the contact with the device, and not at 5 mm as is currently the case, so that they are more representative of the real exposure of users.  France also asked for an information campaign to encourage changes in ways of use, especially among children.

 

https://www.phonegatealert.org/en/french-ministerial-announcements-an-important-step-in-our-actions-to-protect-the-health-of-mobile-phone-users

 

The Italian court ordered the government (Ministries of the Environment and Education) to launch a campaign to advise the public of the health risks from mobile and cordless phones.  https://microwavenews.com/short-takes-archive/italian-decision-precaution

 

We want to know why your department is protecting the profits of a billion-dollar industry by allowing the sale of products on the market that exceed the federal guidelines, Safety Code 6 and not the health and well being of our children?

 

Looking forward to your respond to our concerning questions.
